Drawing upon an ‘excellent knowledge’ of the sector, Howse Williams provides ’high-quality legal services with a customer-oriented attitude’ to insurers in relation to a range of primarily contentious matters. In this context, the firm has developed a strong reputation over the years in relation to professional indemnity matters, including as it flows from claims brought against medical professionals. Indeed, in the healthcare sector, the firm benefits not only from legal expertise but also subject matter knowledge imbued as a result of a number of practitioners who are dual qualified as solicitors and medical doctors. David Kan is one such lawyer and alongside Chris Howse spearheads a strong healthcare offering that has garnered a strong reputation defending private medical professionals in clinical negligence claims. The ‘hardworking’ William Leung is also a key member of the team and is noted, in particular, for his ability to provide ’pragmatic and solutions-oriented advice’ in marine insurance matters.
